Why the NCAA lost another landmark antitrust case
Says schools cant limit "full cost of attendance".
"Pursuant to Judge Wilken’s order, recruits will soon be able to receive athletic scholarship offers that exceed a “full ride” to college. To the extent schools elect to offer more than a full ride, the excess amount can reflect additional compensation for “non-cash education-related benefits and academic awards.”
To that end, Judge Wilken has permanently restrained the NCAA from agreeing to fix or limit education benefits related to “computers, science equipment, musical instruments and other tangible items not included in the cost of attendance calculation but nonetheless related to the pursuit of academic studies.”

Not sure how this affects us since we pay far less than the max already. Second lowest in the SEC I think. Clearly our cheap ass AD office isnt interested in "competing" on that front either. Will it change?
Imagine how much Bammer will now pay. New laptops, desktops, ipads, who knows what else.
